Think of a monument that once stood in a city named after the goddess of love, a short drive from the Aegean Sea. Around 170 ce , the citizens of Aphrodisias set up a statue for one Marcus Ulpius Carminius Claudianus, chief priest of imperial cult for the province of Asia. 1 If the statue, which did not survive the passing of time, was anything like other monuments of the age, it would have stood more than 4 meters tall (approximately 14 feet). 2 At the base of the marble likeness of the man, the donors inscribed an inscription, enumerating the local projects Carminius Claudianus patronized, including the provision of seats in the local theater.
